'Director, please look at me carefully!'

'Normalization of Abnormal' is taking place in the English Premier League (EPL) flagship club. It is a change that occurred after Manchester United replaced Erik ten Hach and took over a new baton to head coach Huvain Amorim. Major players are returning to Carrington Training Center after returning their vacation to catch Amorim's eye. Following Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez (26), a defender from Argentina's national team, also joined the ranks.

British media Daily Star reported on the 19th (Korea time) 'Martinez has rejected the club's offer since Ten Hach was replaced and is trying to show his true self' The story is that Martinez will reduce the transfer period of the Argentine national team and join the team in a hurry to train with coach Amorim as soon as possible.



Originally, Martinez was scheduled to play in the Argentine national team during the A-match break and play in the 2026 North-China World Cup qualifying round. He was scheduled to play against Peru and Paraguay. However, due to the injury suffered against Leicester City last weekend, the A-match was not played. Still, I was given a vacation by the Manchester United club so I could spend time with my family during the rest of the A-match break.

However, Martinez abandoned the club's proposed vacation schedule and rushed to join the team. The outlet quoted the Daily Mail as saying that Martinez was allowed to rest with his family for the rest of the A-match, but returned to Manchester last weekend to join the Carrington training ground. Another outlet, Express, reported that Martinez will remain at Carrington Training Center until the beginning of the week when Amorim begins his training session.



It is very meaningful that Martinez from South America, who values time with his family, came to the training ground first and waited for coach Amorim, refusing a guaranteed vacation schedule. It can be seen that Manchester United players are counting on Amorim's leadership.

Bruno Fernandes, the team's star and locker room leader, has already chosen 'Early Joining the team'. Fernandez, who was called up to the Portugal national team and contributed to a 5-1 victory against Poland on the 15th, left the national team early and returned to Carrington. This is to give a good impression to the new coach from the beginning. For this reason, Martinez also comes to the training ground and promotes communication with the new coach.



Martinez will join the training ground and check his back condition first. If he is in good physical condition, he is expected to play a key role in coach Amorim's preferred three-back system.
